February and March: Classes will include an introduction to Tai Chi Chih. If you have ever wanted to learn some Tai Chi this simple form might be for you. There is evidence that Tai Chi improves mental and physical wellness, including balance and mobility, thus decreasing the risk of falls.
About the Class
Explore the mind-body connection, decrease stress, increase mental and physical fitness (resilience, strength, endurance, balance, coordination, flexibility, memory), and become part of our community while exploring a variety of somatic, fitness, and dance modalities. Activities include chair and standing yoga, Tai Chi Chih, Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention, breathing exercises, light weight lifting, modified ballet barre, mindful movement, seated meditation, and more.
